Nokia N70

Hi, all first post to this group so be kind.

I lost my N70 on 3UK and they sent me a SE K610i as replacement. Nice phone
but I miss my smartphone capabilities.
So to the questions.

If I were to buy a SIM free and unlocked N70 and put my replacement SIM in
it, would it be as capable as my lost handset, i.e. would it still function
as a 3G handset with the same number and be able to run Opera etc?

P.S. I am also considering just going for an N73 Music Edition instead (same
questions as above).

Thanks,

Alan Monaghan

Yes.

And get the N73 instead.

Thanks, looks like the one. Just one more question. Does anyone have the
Music Edition of the N73?

The reason being I've heard that this edition of the N73 is *not* compatable
with 3UK and 3G in general. Check this and click on link for further
information.

Is it worth going for music edition, it seems to be cheaper than the
standard on some sites?
